Hmm. I don't think I'd say that I in general let advertising make me feel very insecure. But still - if I'm shopping for a piece of clothing, especially something closefitting or underwear or swimwear that I hope will look attractive and maybe even hot on me , it's not much fun to try on something that looks fantastic on a model but makes me look pudgy and ridiculous, not matter how happy I am with my body and it's excellent functioning otherwise.

Buying clothes is a lot more personal than buying appliances, because you look at the photo and try to translate the image into yourself wearing it.
